2018 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · RF68 AEW

The 2018 Renault Clio passed its most recent MOT on 21 January 2025 at 13,769 miles, leaving it roadworthy at the time of testing. The single available record shows a stable maintenance trend with no prior failures, though the sparse history limits longitudinal comparison. Two advisories were raised that warrant attention but did not constitute a failure. The odometer read 13,769 miles at the January 2025 test, equating to roughly 1,721 miles per year across the vehicle's eight years. This is exceptionally low for a 2018 hatchback and suggests either light commuting use or extended periods of inactivity. Only one MOT entry exists in the supplied data, so no mileage gaps or rapid accumulation can be charted between tests. The tester flagged fluctuating offside front service brake operation and a pitted or scored nearside front brake disc at the 2025 examination. Neither component was seriously weakened, yet both point to limited use allowing surface corrosion and uneven caliper movement to develop. A buyer should physically inspect the front brake calipers for binding, measure disc runout, and confirm the discs are not lipped beyond tolerance. Given the low annual mileage, suspension bushes and coil springs may show age-related cracking rather than wear fatigue, and standing periods raise the risk of seized linkages or underseal breakdown. A pre-purchase check should include a structural underside inspection for corrosion and verification that the brake hydraulics free off cleanly after repeated application.
